Whether you’re new to AI or have fully embraced it, this Playbook will be your go-to resource to find the best new AI tools and strategies to help support teaching and learning

VETTING AI TOOLS

As AI has exploded into the education arena, it has brought hundreds of new apps, platforms, and teaching tools with it. Consequently, trying to sort the useful and effective (and COPPA- and FERPA-compliant) ones from the ones less so has become a major challenge.

During the recent Tech & Learning Regional Leadership Summit in Denver, attendees were divided into teams and tasked with creating plans for vetting new AI tools.

For example, Suzan Brandt, Director of Technology at Mountain Brook Schools in Alabama, shared her district’s edtech tool vetting process, which accommodates AI tools. Here is their process:

1. Initiate a request via the 1EdTech app in Classlink

2. Route MBS Formstack form, linked in the instruction in 1EdTech, to the local school data governance committee

3. After the local school data governance committee complete the “paper” curriculum alignment form, scan and upload it into Formstack

4. Print the packet and add Tech Department review. Create app in ClassLink. Add new app to MBS “apps under review” library

5. Check the packet (Formstack, curriculum form, Tech Department form) and 1EdTech request to ensure information is complete. Add cost information to ClassLink

6. Add app to SDPC then email National Data Privacy Agreement to the vendor and mark the date sent in the A4L portal

7. Add any missing information in 1EdTech and mark “Under Review”

8. District data governance meets each month complete final review

9. Mark results of final review in A2L and 1EdTech

10. Make app active in ClassLink; roster or assign, and move to MBS library

11. Notify requester and local school data governance team.

Another team shared this easy-to-follow flow chart:

Matt Winters, Artificial Intelligence Specialist for the Utah State Board of Education, shared the state’s proposed AI framework for K-12 schools, which includes guiding principles and prohibited uses as well as best practices.

Among the guiding principles:

1. Using AI to help students achieve their educational goals.

2. Reaffirming adherence to existing policies and regulations.

3. Educating all staff and students about AI.

4. Exploring the opportunities of AI and addressing the risks.

5. Using AI to advance academic integrity.

6. Maintaining student and teacher agency when using AI tools.

7. Committing to auditing, monitoring, and evaluating a schools’ use of AI.

As with all policies and frameworks, the Utah guidance–like all current AI practices–will be reviewed an-

Ultimately, AI tools are like any other edtech tools, and need the same attention to safety, efficacy, and proper use for staff and students alike.

AI STARTER KIT FOR TEACHERS

Artificial intelligence is now part of education, and offers interesting and varied opportunities for teachers and students alike. From generative AI writing tools and research platforms to apps that create lesson plans and simplify administrative tasks, there’s a lot to absorb when it comes to AI and its impact on education.

During the recent Tech & Learning Northeast Regional Leadership Summit at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Danielle Henriquez, Business Intelligence Architect for the Continuing Studies Department at Rutgers, presented “Harnessing the Power of AI: Curating the Best Tools for Edu.”

In her presentation, Henriquez provided basic definitions of the key terms related to artificial intelligence, as well as numerous AI resources and tools.

KINDS OF GENERATIVE AI, AS SHARED BY DANIELLE HENRIQUEZ:

• Text-to-Text

• Text-to-Image

• Image-to-Image

• Image-to-Text

• Speech-to-Text

• Text-to-Audio

• Text-to-Video

• Multimodal (Combine any of the models above)

For instance, she said generative AI “is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of generating text, images, or other media in response to prompts. Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data, and then generate new data that has similar characteristics.”

Henriquez also discussed the process of crafting strong prompts to get better results, even suggesting using generative AI itself to help that process.

1. Start with action - Tell the AI exactly what you would like it to do

2. Assign an identity - Give the AI a role to play when answering

3. Context is key - Provide detail and context to make it easier for the AI to give you exactly what you want

4. Describe the task - Give a detailed and succinct description of the task and any steps to consider or questions to answer

5. Output instructions - Explain in detail how you want the output delivered to you – format, style, tone, etc.

6. Review, reiterate, redefine - Take the results you received and use it to make adjustments to your prompt and try again. Continue making adjustments and trying new prompts until you get exactly what you’re seeking

Henriquez also cited Educause and Common Sense Media as great resources for AI best practices, advice, and guidelines. Tech & Learning also has a regularly updated assortment of resources, tips, and advice from education professionals such as yourself for using AI and edtech.

BUILDING COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACES: THE BEST NEW AV AND INFRASTRUCTURE TECH FOR K-12 CLASSROOMS

Gone are the days when classrooms were filled with rows of desks facing a chalkboard, and the most exciting technology was an overhead projector. Welcome to the era of collaborative learning spaces, where technology and pedagogy dance together in a dazzling display of educational innovation!

THE CLASSROOM REVOLUTION:

FROM WHITEBOARD TO DIGITAL STARDUST

Imagine walking into a classroom where the walls come alive with interactive displays, students huddle around mobile workstations like mini think-tanks, and virtual reality headsets transport learners to ancient civilizations or the depths of space. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the reality of modern K-12 education, where cutting-edge AV and IT solutions are transforming learning into an adventure.

INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS:

THE NEW CLASSROOM ROCKSTARS

At the heart of this educational revolution are interactive displays that make traditional whiteboards look like cave paintings. Take ViewSonic’s ViewBoard, for instance. With its multi-touch capabilities supporting up to 40 touchpoints, it’s like having a giant tablet on steroids. Picture this: a group of middle schoolers collaboratively dissecting a virtual frog, each wielding a digital scalpel with surgical precision, while their teacher annotates in real-time, pointing out the difference between a spleen and a very confused-looking kidney.

These displays aren’t just screens; they’re portals to infinite possibilities. One moment, they’re showcasing a 3D model of the solar system; the next, they’re a canvas for a collaborative art project that would make Picasso scratch his head in wonder.

ADDITIONAL INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS:

• BenQ RP Series

• Promethean ActivPanel

• SMART Board 6000S Series

• Newline RS Series

• Clevertouch UX Pro

• Samsung Flip

FLEXIBLE LEARNING SPACES:

WHERE FURNITURE MEETS FUNKY

Gone are the days of rigid classroom layouts. Welcome to the era of the classroom chameleon, in which spaces transform faster than a quick-change artist at a Vegas show.

Imagine desks that glide across the room with the grace of ice dancers, forming pods, circles, or even a makeshift amphitheater. Add Boxlight’s interactive projectors to the mix, and suddenly, every surface becomes a potential learning space.

ADDITIONAL FLEXIBLE LEARNING SOLUTIONS:

• Steelcase Node chairs

• KI Ruckus Collection

• Smith System Interchange Diamond Desk

• Ergotron LearnFit SitStand Desk

• VS America FlexiCon Tables

• MooreCo Hierarchy Height Adjustable Grow Stool

That blank wall? It’s now displaying an interactive map of the Roman Empire. The floor? It’s a giant interactive periodic table. Even the ceiling isn’t safe from the reach of these projectors – astronomy class just got a whole lot more immersive!

CLOUD COLLABORATION: BECAUSE LEARNING DOESN’T STOP AT THE SCHOOL BELL

In the age of cloud-based learning platforms, the classroom extends far beyond four walls. With solutions such as BenQ’s InstaShow, students can collaborate on projects as if they’re in the same room, even when they’re continents apart. Other platforms, for example Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft Teams, are also revolutionizing how students connect and collaborate.

Picture this: a high school history class working on a collaborative timeline of the Renaissance. Sarah’s adding Da Vinci’s inventions from her bedroom, while Jake’s uploading images of Michelangelo’s sculptures from a café in Florence (lucky kid on a family vacation). Meanwhile, their teacher is orchestrating this symphony of learning, adding comments and guidance, all while lounging in pajamas (don’t tell the principal).

ADDITIONAL CLOUD COLLABORATION PLATFORMS:

• Zoom for Education

• Canvas LMS

• Blackboard Learn

• Edmodo

IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES: BRINGING “WOW” TO

THE CLASSROOM

AR and VR technologies are turning learning into a blockbuster experience. With VR solutions, students can take field trips to Mars, dive into the depths of the ocean, or shrink down to explore the human bloodstream – all without leaving their seats. Products such

as ClassVR and Google Expeditions are taking students on virtual field trips that would make any travel agent jealous.

Imagine a history class where students don’t just read about ancient Rome; they walk its streets, visit the Colosseum, and maybe even have a chat with Julius Caesar (who, surprisingly, speaks perfect English with a slight British accent). Or a biology lesson during which students can zoom into a cell, navigate through its organelles, and play a game of “tag the mitochondria.”

ADDITIONAL VR/ AR SYSTEMS:

• Lenovo VR Classroom

• Google Expeditions

• Merge Cube

• zSpace

• Veative Labs VR Learn

• Alchemy VR

CONCLUSION:

THE FUTURE IS HERE, AND IT’S AWESOME

As we hurtle toward an increasingly digital future, our classrooms are transforming into vibrant hubs of collaboration, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. By embracing these innovations, we’re not just preparing students for the future; we’re bringing the future to them.

So, the next time you hear a kid say, “I can’t wait for school tomorrow!” don’t be surprised. With classrooms turning into tech-powered wonderlands, learning has never been more exciting. Who knows? We might just be witnessing the birth of a generation that thinks textbooks are as ancient as dinosaurs and considers “school” and “adventure” synonymous.

Welcome to the brave new world of education, where the only limit is imagination (and maybe the school’s wifi bandwidth). Buckle up, educators and students – the learning adventure of a lifetime awaits!

REIMAGINING LEARNING SPACES TO EMPOWER STUDENTS

Technology’s dizzying rate of evolution is a challenge for education, which often has struggled to keep pace. But it’s critical for educators to embrace technology and create opportunities for their students to do so also.

During the recent Tech & Learning Northeast Regional Leadership Summit at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, event host Dr. Adam Phyall, Director of Professional Learning and Leadership at All4Ed, discussed how to do this by changing your approach to learning spaces so as to empower students with technology and help genuinely prepare for their careers–and the future–they will encounter.

LOOK BACK BUT MOVE FORWARD

Using vivid examples of video games, computers, and other technology from the childhoods of attendees (brick phones and Commodore 64s, anyone?), Phyall discussed how each of those now-outdated devices was an emerging technology at one point. He talked about being in high school in 1994 when the internet was first “becoming a thing,” pointing out all the jobs that didn’t exist at that point but subsequently cascaded from it. He then compared that to the sea change that AI and other innovations are driving today, and the related need to ready students for similar yet-to-

be-created jobs and innovations.

Obviously, one key to effectively preparing students for the future is providing opportunities to explore these new technologies. “Do we have spaces in our schools where students can see emerging tech?” asked Phyall. “Or are we just teaching the Civil War?” While acknowledging that yes, history does need to be taught as part of a basic knowledge base, schools need to go beyond that. “Can you solve tomorrow’s problem with yesterday’s information?” he asked rhetorically, noting that providing hands-on opportunities with emerging technologies is critical to build student engagement and drive learning.

REAL-LIFE INSPIRATION

During his keynote, Phyall also shared his recent battle with gallbladder cancer (he’s now three months clean, woohoo!). He explained how his experience inspired his daughter to want to follow a career path that helps her create a cancer-screening device so no one ever has to go through what he did.

“Kids are going to use these new tools in ways we don’t know,” said Phyall. “Our call to action is to create spaces to empower students and give them the tools to thrive and solve tomorrow’s problems.”

OPTIMIZING SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY BUDGETS THROUGH DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Educational technology budgets continue to be a challenge, especially with so many schools’ finances stretched thin to start.

Frank Murray, Director of Instructional Technology and Campus Support for Belton ISD in Belton, Texas, discusses best practices schools and districts can use to help efficiently improve their technology budgets.

WEIGHING EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

“The hardest thing is how do you make data-driven decisions on what you’re using in the school,” says Murray. “The main thing to us is usage results. What are our usage reports on devices? We use a piece of software that tells us exactly how many times a kid has logged [into a device] and how long they were there. How long they stay and whether they were on task with it. And we break that down.”

With this kind of information, Murray says schools can create realistic expectations about where the money needs to go and whether existing uses of the budget should continue or be altered.

USING DATA TO FOCUS ON EFFICIENCY

When it comes to spending, having a clear objective in mind for your budget outcome can help you circumvent many obstacles. Focusing on services that handle similar tasks might be able to help you identify the ones you want to keep and the ones that you can stop using. For example, Murray says, “We had three hall pass

softwares for student’s digital hall passes. It tracks where they are. We had three different vendor names, three different companies for three different softwares that did the same thing. So you lose buying power there. So when you get everyone on one system, it would be cheaper for us as a district.”

Making fiscally responsible decisions on what software to allot your current budget is important, as is planning for the future. “We should never sign on to a software or a subscription that we do not plan to use for at least three years,” Murray says.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF VENDOR NEGOTIATIONS

Murray suggests that before you enter into negotiations with a vendor for their services, you do your due diligence and come prepared.

“Enter negotiations with a clear understanding of your budget,” says Murray. “Know your desired outcomes and your potential alternatives. We need to research [this service] heavily before we know that this is something we will use for a while. Tell the vendors what you have to spend. That’s the kicker. You have to build a relationship with your vendors. You have to help them understand what’s going on with your budget constraints. Let them know exactly what you can afford.”

THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING:

TIPS FOR INCORPORATING IT INTO YOUR CLASS OR SCHOOL 7

The science of learning can be implemented at the classroom, school, or district level, says Margaret (Meg) Lee, Director of Organizational Development for Frederick County Public Schools in Maryland.

The science of learning is the practice of applying cutting-edge lessons from cognitive science, educational psychology, and neuroscience to the classroom with research-backed practices that have been shown to increase student learning.

1 Learn How People Learn: The Difference Between Working and Long-Term MemoryThe first step to incorporating the science of learning is gaining a better understanding of how students (and all people) obtain new knowledge, Lee says. This means recognizing the difference between working memory, which is impermanent, and long-term memory, and then engaging in classroom activities that help students move new information from the former to the latter.

2 Retrieval Practice - One research-backed way to move memories from working to long-term memory is through retrieval practice, a strategy in which students go back to material they recently learned in multiple ways at multiple times throughout the class. This requires students to retrieve the new memory several times, forcing them to remember and think about it in effortful ways.

3 Have Students Translate Their LearningPart of retrieval practice is having students “translate” what they learned by engaging with it in different ways. “If they’ve read about it, I want them to write about it,” Lee says.

4 Real-Time Assessments - A key part of the science of learning is making sure students leave each lesson or class with a correct understanding of what they just learned. “You don’t want kids to practice and consolidate and sleep on information that’s not right,” Lee says. She recommends some type of formative assessment that gives the teacher the opportunity to correct any mistakes in real-time.

5 Understand Emotion Affects Cognition - It’s important that educators understand that emotions are linked to cognition. The more unwelcome and unsettled a student feels, the less likely they are to learn effectively.

6 Avoid Time-Consuming Tasks That Don’t Help Students - Time is valuable for teachers, so Lee doesn’t like to see them spend it on tasks that don’t impact student learning. For example, elaborate slideshows may not help students learn, and may even hinder learning by causing cognitive overload for students, she says.

7 Honor Teacher Knowledge - Lee stresses that many teachers already incorporate these strategies, having realized the effectiveness through experience. “Many of the strategies that we’re asking them to use more often are things that they’re already familiar with that may just need a tweak, or they may just need to be elevated and done more frequently,” she says.

WAYS FOR SCHOOL LEADERS TO ADDRESS “WHISPERS”

Whispers, much like a virus, spread rapidly and uncontrollably, often mutating and infecting the school with misinformation and misunderstanding. As a principal, I’ve learned that these hushed, quiet comments often hold a disproportionate amount of power and volume, especially if I don’t redirect any. Managing whispers is critical to disrupting negative energy and shifting to a positive, trusting school culture.

1. Addressing Whispers: Promote Transparency and Open Communication - When information is unclear or withheld, people fill in the blanks. This is often when whispers and rumors inaccurately distort. This is human nature. Our brains need to conceptualize reality, which is why a school leader has to deliberately share with transparency.

2. Address Issues Early and Directly - One of the fastest ways I combat the ripple effects of harmful whispers is to address concerns head-on. If I catch wind of a rumor, I take it as a signal to engage in direct, honest communication. Acknowledging the issue is always the approach. Don’t crawl under a rock, stand on it!

3. Model Positive, Productive Dialogue - Whispers often emerge from a place of frustration, confusion, and assumptions. As a school leader, I must model how to channel these feelings into produc-

tive conversations. I encourage staff to speak openly about challenges and frustrations in a purposeful manner. When they see their leader maintaining professionalism it sets the tone for how difficult conversations can be constructively approached.

4. Foster a Culture of Trust - When trust is set as a foundation, whispers hold less weight. School community members are less likely to believe or spread rumors. Building trust takes time but is crucial for long-term cultural growth. Open-door policies, regular feedback opportunities, and being visible throughout the school day go a long way in building rapport with stakeholders.

5. Create Spaces for Constructive Venting - Sometimes, whispers emerge because people simply need to vent. It’s human nature to feel frustrated or dissatisfied, and individuals should feel they have a safe space to express feelings.

6. Recognize the Power of Positive Whispers - Whispers don’t always have to be negative. In fact, fostering a culture of positive chatter can lead to significant opportunities for encouragement, success, and community pride. Celebrate wins— whether it’s a teacher’s creative lesson, a student achievement, or a school-wide success.

4 AI TOOLS FOR EDUCATION THAT ARE NOTHING LIKE CHATGPT

Many AI tools available for education are often slightly modified versions of ChatGPT. These tend to have the same chatbot interface as well as many of the common strengths and weaknesses.

I’m finding more and more, however, that the AI tools I’m most interested in seem to have more immediate educational potential and are nothing like ChatGPT. Instead these use AI in one specific way to accomplish a specific task.

1. STORM - Geared toward academics, the tool quickly creates a high-level academic chapter on any research topic, complete with real citations. I’ve typed in topics I’m writing about or interested in, such as flipped learning, the multiverse, and the history of Christmas trees. In each case, within a couple of minutes, it provided a detailed overview of the topic that read like my own personalized and hyper-specific Wikipedia page.

2. Character.AI - I’m told Character.AI is popular with high school and college students, and it’s not hard to see why. Unlike so many AI tools, Character. AI is designed with fun in mind. It lets you create characters from existing TV shows and movies, or

even develop your own. Then it allows you to have real conversations with each one.

3. DebunkBot - Fake news and conspiracy thinking seems more widespread today than at any point in my lifetime. DebunkBot is a conspiracy-debunking AI tool designed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere to get people to think critically about their beliefs through dialogue. After my initial testing with the tool I was bit skeptical, but as I explored DebunkBot more, I became increasingly impressed.

4. Otter.AI - This AI transcription tool is so helpful to my work as a journalist and is a favorite of every journalist or journalism student to whom I’ve recommended it. Of course, not every education topic requires as much interviewing as journalism, even so, Otter.AI also helps summarize recorded meetings and lectures. In addition to providing an AI transcript, Otter.AI will offer a summary of the key points of each recording.
